uin	HL119
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Officials at the Department for Transport are working with both the French Government and industry to ensure that when the European Train Control System (ETCS) signalling is fitted on the high speed lines in both France and the UK it will be compatible with the ETCS system in the tunnel. Before ETCS is fitted on all three networks, trains using the tunnel will have to have more than one on board signalling systems (ie a Tunnel compatible one and an ETCS one) and there will be a handover between the systems as they move from one piece of infrastructure to another. The UK Government is considering what specific provisions need to be part of any exit agreement to ensure continuity of services using the tunnel.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/07/2017 14:39:47 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
